Wearing Confidence
My capstone is about helping teens in need and how proving clothing is important to their confidence. Some people think having nice clothes or clothes that fit your style are not important. These teens, being in low income families or foster, do not get proper access to stylish clothing, and I was curious as to why and if providing these clothes would increase confidence levels. I found out a few things as to why they are not given proper access, but my main concern was about increasing confidence levels.
Fashion is a large component in a persons expression, personality, and feeling. We display all of these through the clothes we wear and it is important in our society. One main reason is because of self-expression. This also links with first impressions of others and how we judge a person. It is human nature to judge someone, and clothing is how we present ourselves. What you wear basically gives someone of glimpse of who you are, and what you are like.
For my end product I collected donations of dresses. I narrowed it down to just dresses because I thought about prom, and other school events. But then I thought that just would not be enough. Also, dresses just make girls feel more confident and beautiful, so I decided to ask peers in the school to search their closets for dresses they cannot fit or do not wear anymore to contribute to a cause. After collection, I will give them away to ---- for teen girls in need of clothes to access.
